Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

• History includes:

• Symptomatic history
• Exposure history
• Past medical history
• Family history
• Medicinal history

Eyes

• Full opthamologic exam:

• Chemosis
• Cutaneous vesicles
• Discharge
• Erythmia
• Proptosis
• Tenderness

Laboratory Findings

• Labs include:

• Albumin
• ANA
• BUN / Creatinine
• CBCD
• ESR
• TSH
• Urinalysis

• Culture of eye

• Gram stain if suspected infection

CT

• CT of eyes, head and neck if deemed necessary

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

• Consider echo if CHF is suspected

Other Diagnostic Studies

• Consider biopsy of lesions if necessary

Treatment

• Opthalmology consult

Acute Pharmacotherapies

• Treat with topical antibiotics
• If an allergy, remove allergen, add cold compress and antihistamines
